Template:Book
Book |
---|
This template is used to describe actual books written by Brandon Sanderson. This includes published novels (e.g. The Way of Kings, Legion), short stories (e.g. Perfect State), anthologies (e.g. Arcanum Unbounded), graphic novels (e.g. White Sand (vol. 1)), and derivative works, such as the Mistborn Adventure Game RPG and its expansions. In addition to any published works, this template also applies to books planned for the future (e.g. Nightblood) and books written in the past but not published (e.g. The Liar of Partinel or Aether of Night). Notably, this template does not apply to Brandon's essays, blogs, annotations, or in-world books.
Template
On lines with multiple parameters (e.g. |publisher= / publisher-raw=
) pick only the one most appropriate.
{{book |cover= |prequel= |sequel= |series= |setting= |released= |publisher= / publisher-raw= |ISBN= |annotation= / annotations= }}
Parameters
None of the parameters are mandatory.
Parameter | Description | Examples |
---|---|---|
title
|
Rarely used, the title parameter allows you to overwrite the default title of the infobox (which is the same as the page name). This is mostly useful when the page name is somehow different from the actual title of the book. For example, Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians is both the name of a book and its series. Since the default page title for the book is Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (book), the infobox opts to overwrite this with a more sensible Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians.
